But this episode is so packed with content, we decided to let all our readers find out what they are missing!
This latest episode of our unique, definitely non-iconic, round-table news panel discussion thingy has guests The Civilised Savage, a powerhouse spoken word poet, iC intrepid report Gabriel MacArthur, Croydon chronicler David Morgan talks about his latest history feature, Nadia Azizuddin joins us hot-foot from a big press launch at the Legacy Youth Zone, while lavender farmer Lorna Maye talks about 20 years of the Mayfield Lavender Farm in Banstead.
Also featured in this episode of the podcast is the £32million sale of the Whitgift Centre to Westfield, the restoration of the historic dinosaur sculptures in Crystal Palace Park, the struggle of a Croydon church secondary school to find a new headteacher, plus the shocking story of the 14-year-old arrested on charges related to racism and a terror attack.
Plus, of course, there’s Poetry on the Pod, with a powerful poem powerfully performed – and exclusively available on the podcast.

At a time when billionaires and oligarchs own the majority of our press, when local journalism is in decline, and social media is rife with misinformation and abuse, there has never been a greater need for the sort of journalism delivered in Croydon by Inside Croydon.
So if you listen in to our eclectic podcast, please consider signing up as a patron – for less than the price of a pint per month – and we’ll keep asking the questions that those in power don’t want to have to answer.
